So this has been on my bucket list for a while now. Summiting Mt. Kenya. At least the Lenana peak. I’d hoped to do it for my 25th birthday but a year and change later, I still feel that it came just when it was supposed to.
This year for me, much to what I have been praying and working towards, has been for a whole lot of growth internally and out; and literally taking on the challenges and would be mountains in my life and just doing all the stuff that has me scared shitless. Learnt that I cannot afford passivity in creating the life I envision for myself.
I’ve experienced a ton of growth personally and professionally. I’ve been able to clearly identify what I would like in a relationship and be bold enough to state that and not settle for anything else, much as it crashed my entirety then and made me question every damn thing in terms of committed relationships and the resultant work that you commit to doing on a daily to keep it going. I’ve also gotten to grow professionally and improve my competence when it comes to working within the development space. The Catalytic Jobs Fund for one, has been that project that sort of catapulted me into this arena of policy + innovation + business where I get to support socially conscious businesses with the primary goal being sustainability and improved lives and livelihoods for guys who’d be classified within the majority global south…
